Cherry Cordial Cookies

One of my dad’s favorite candies is chocolate-covered cherry cordials. I decided to re-create the flavor in these cookies. They were a hit with my taste testers! For extra ease, you could prepare the dough ahead and freeze up to 3 months. —Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

  • Makes
    about 3-1/2 dozen

Ingredients

  • 1 package (17-1/2 ounces) sugar cookie mix

    I only rated this to get the review submitted. Nice picture. I looked at the picture more carefully. I can see now that the cookies after baked were placed in the papers for display purposes only. Will definitely bake these and prepare as the picture shows. Great Job Taste of Home for sharing recipe.

    This recipe is a keeper! Quick and easy and very tasty. I opted not to add the white chocolate, I didnt think it needed it.
